New York Open Center

The New York Open Center offers holistically-based educational programs to create positive transformation in individuals and the world.
The New York Open Center was founded in 1984 with the intention of creating a forum for a new generation of seekers. Our founders felt there was an abundance of excellent spiritual teachers and practitioners in the New York City area without a physical space or destination in which to practice. With an event on the evening of January 13, 1984, the New York Open Center was born.
The initial focus of the center was on spiritual values but the mission quickly expanded to include how our values and intentions lead us to participate in the wider world. Since then, the New York Open Center has evolved into an urban destination for holistic learning, personal development, professional advancement and enrichment.
Programs are offered in spiritual inquiry and practice, psychology and self-development, holistic health, bodywork, movement and yoga, arts and creativity. The center also features concerts, performances and other special events. The Open Center is dedicated to making these educational and enriching opportunities available to anyone anywhere through online learning initiatives.
Today, the New York Open Center presents more than 300 programs of exceptional depth and integrity to audiences totaling more than 10,000 annually.

Attended: African Drumming and Percussion

The class was good but it got away from the instructors. The instructors allowed a group of people to dictated how the schedule was going to go. While the instructors cover some of the basic hand drumming techniques, I felt like they could have cover more about how to play the drum and less about the healing powers of drumming. We lost a good 3 hours talking about healing powers of drumming and how everything is compose of vibrations. A bit disappointed!

Attended: Creating Meaningful Work

This may have been the best $100 I ever spent! I was a bit hesitant at first. Especially since there were some mediation/ visualization exercises (not typically my thing), but Madhu was such an amazing coach! She used great mantras and just the right amount of repetition to get things to stick. She really encouraged us to dive deep and explore our inner passions and interests. I left with a much brighter perspective on life, a solid list of attainable goals, AND most importantly, an idea for a new career that I'm FINALLY EXCITED about!
I'm glad this was 3 weeks-long. A lot of this stuff didn't click for me until the very end of the last session, which was actually kind of cool to experience. I'd love to take a follow-up class with Madhu that's a little longer than 3 meetings next time.
Class size was great. It really helped that everyone in the group was incredibly friendly, supportive and welcoming. I made six new connections!
I would strongly recommend Madhu to anyone feeling stuck in their career/life!
